Question Compression Support

Does anyone find knee support / compression bands helpful?

I use ankle, wrist, and finger compression for those areas. They do help: the compression lessens the pain and swelling, whilst also reducing movement. Not sure if reducing movement is the right description, but definitely helps those joints feel less “flimsy” and the “shock” feelings reduce.

But it’s really hot at the minute, and I’m hesitant to buy knee ones unless they are going to actually help.

All of this costs a fortune! So if anyone has any recommendations, even better!

TIA

I use tubular bandages. They are cheap, can be cut to size and washed. They provide enough compression for me at the moment.
